And it's here. Delivery driver was nice enough to place this in our garage (seemed pretty light). Won't be able to open it until my husband gets home from work so more pics tomorrow. Going to start a new thread to post all the information, pics etc.

Dimensions of box :
58" 3/4 width
60" height
8" depth

FYI: Came strapped to a small pallet to keep it in an upright position.

IMO it reduces the muscular appearance - could be the angle though.

Did anyone figure out the blocking plate area? Did someone create 3D printed blocking plates?

No blocking plates on mine & won't be fitting any. Driven in heavy rain, washed it with pressure washer, hand washed it...no ingress issues, a few drops on the intake tube that runs across the engine bay but that's it.
As well as facing rearwards the vent in the GTS hood is considerably more vertical than the CS thus to get water in there you'd have to hose directly into it.
Id certainly avoid blocking the vent as the whole idea of it is that it's designed to let heat escape, which it does very well btw. The vent is oem plastic too not fiberglass.
Only adjustment required to mine was moving the front panel forward a few mm (5 minute job). The hood overall fit & finish was excellent with the only work required being some excess joint sealant removal from the underside prior to paint (maybe I got lucky).
I'm speaking about the Aluminium version I can't speak about CF versions.
